Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Pattern 5 Dollars (Pattern) ND (1985) from New Zealand made of Aluminium bronze weighing 12.139g is that it was designed by New Zealand artist and sculptor, Robert H. P. H. Shackleton. Shackleton was known for his work in creating sculptures and medallions for various organizations and events, including the New Zealand Olympic Games and the Commonwealth Games. His design for the Pattern 5 Dollars coin features a portrait of Queen Elizabeth II on the obverse side and a depiction of a kiwi bird on the reverse side, which is a symbol of New Zealand. The coin's unique design and limited mintage make it a sought-after collector's item among numismatists.
